Doyle: Out of the House

Unable to find another interested 6 foot red bird, "Pokey" settles for the company of two middle aged pirates. "Walk my plank, matey!"

 

Editor's Note: I've been asked to remind you that Doyle's opinions are not those of empytv or, in fact, those of any sane and reasonable human being. I'm so, so sorry.    -Jack

It’s cold outside. Not the temperature, but the people. I have not left in as far back as I can remember, but I wish I had never left at all. It is strange to see people walk by with Mohawks, or hundreds of piercings in their face and get no second glance. Yet, when someone asks if I am lost, and I do not reply, I get looked at as if I am the only walking leper left on the face of the planet. I guess a mute in a bear suit gets no respect. It is time to talk about things I have seen on the outside. I have a feeling my opinion still counts. Lesbian’s and gays: Homosexuals. You are not born homosexual. I want to say that I have nothing against anyone who chooses to advance in a relationship with a member of the same sex. We are America, the land of the free. I just think that Gays and lesbians are quitters. I am sorry ladies, but if you go out to a bar, and no guy hits on you, that is not excuse to give up. If no one answers your yahoo classified ad because you did or did not show your picture, too bad. The late Aliyah sang, "If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again." For god sakes it took Rocky till the second movie to win the championship (cont.).

Dr.Shin = stupid-head.

What do you think?

 

I guess you proved me right. 

"So, taking this laywoman’s opinion as gospel, I proceeded with a close self-exam." --Dr. Shin. . 

If the good doctor has placed the standard of emotional maturity in the hands of emoclear.com's Kendra, he's only proven even more inevitably that he himself is an emotional fuck wit, right along with Edge and Doyle. I visited the site after reading Dr. Shin's response to my article about Miah's return (Again, welcome home, Miah!) and was pleased to find that his maturity guru had much more to say about the maturely enhanced than he was willing to share with all of us. First, I would like to point out the crystal clear vision Shin has given us regarding his own obsession with booze and drugs. He even uses his addictions as proof that he has some "emotional maturity."  (cont.)

Dr.Shin = mature, stupid-head.

 

 

 

 

 

A while ago “Betty” wrote an article in praise of that freakshow brainbox Miah. In that letter she referred to several other emptyv employees (Doyle, Edge, and… me) as “emotional delinquents”. Emotional delinquents? Well, Doyle ain’t never left his damn house, so I’ll go with you on that one. Edge is getting married-need I say more? But Me? My dear lady, the doctor is anything but. And I’ll show you how.

In the grand tradition, I did a little research as to “The most outstanding signs of emotional maturity”.  According to “Kendra” on emoclear.com, they are as follows:
”…being able to accept, having empathy, being able to let go, and being honest with yourself and others. Also being able to commit and follow through and listen to others. Being able to love in an un-needy way. Those are tell-tale signs.”

So, taking this laywoman’s opinion as gospel, I proceeded with a close self-exam...

Testy Testies

Miah's laboratory tests conclude that "no name given" can't spell worth $h!t.

Hello reader,

I am supposed to answer these questions as part of my therapy. By doing this I will- hopefully- fall back into the pattern of my old life. Dr. Shin sleeps in the bunk below me here at the emptyv offices. Every time I wake up screaming he kicks my thin mattress with those damned cowboy boots. My back is one large bruise. Pray for me. Here goes. 

Dear Miah,

    I am having alot of trouble in my "sex" life, when i was 3 i had a hurnia and lost my left testical. My girlfreind says she loves the fact i olny have one but when i walk down the sidewalk and anywere else i can feel myself leaning to the right side "that is the side of my one remaining testical" i was wondering if there is anything you can suggest about this matter. Any help at all will be much appreciated 
    Sincerely, no name given

Hmmm. I don’t understand. You say you have trouble with your sex life but then you say your girlfriend loves the fact that you only have one testicle (note the spelling here, my friend) It does not seem like there is a problem with your sex life and, if there is, you failed to mention one. So, I will assume you mean the leaning problem you have when you walk, “that is the side of {your} one remaining testical.”

(In future letters, please avoid the totally arbitrary use of quotations, please). Anyway, I can see a few reasons you walk the way you do. 1) Your remaining testicle is such a burden that you are forced to lean in its direction. In this case, I would ask you to consider if you wish to have children in the future. If not, removal may be the way to go. If you want to have children, perhaps you should invest in some particularly supportive underpants. 2) You understand the value of that one remaining “testical,” at least at a sub-conscious level. It is the only chance you have to reproduce so you walk in a protective manner, ready for any danger that may come your way. So, be aware of your surroundings but there is no real reason to fear an attack on your remaining testicle. Testicle loss from an rabid squirrel is fairly uncommon. Hamsters, on the other hand……

Thank God!

 

"A real jackass? Do you really think so?" -an insecure Saddam after reading Betty's article Sunday.

All I can say is "THANK GOD!"  The only voice of reason and sensitivity (and intelligence. . .goes without saying) has re-entered our lives at emptyv.org.  I was truly frightened that the only ideas to be conveyed from now on on the site would be read in the special diatribes provided by emotional delinquents Edge, Doyle, and Dr. Shin

Miah, I welcome you back with wide open arms.  You are a man who can give the hopelessly bitter heartbroken some small glimmer of something.

I have finally re-established a sense of general joy in our big, fucked up world.  I often find playing naive is my only hope for survival.  Recently, I've had to protect myself from depressing subjects by
interrupting bearers of bad news with questions like "Who is George Bush?" and "Where is Iraq?"  Or injecting comments into conversation like "Everyone in France is so stylish!" or "Suddam Hussein was a real jack ass in 'Bigger, Longer, and Un-cut,' The South Park Movie."  I refuse to use my spare time doing anything other than finding characters in the clouds and/or day dreaming about The Smartest Man Alive.

I'm sure my "No War Against Iraq" sign is really getting the message across anyway.

Betty

"Terror All Around It's Teeth..."

Ed. note: after a period of blissful ignorance, the World's Smartest Man was exposed to painful shock therapy treatment, under advice of our editor Dan. The next day, in a period between his debilitating shivering, amid constant drooling, he began to recall the painful incident that brought him here. This is part one of that story. -J.

I remember…

                I once claimed to be the “Smartest Man Alive.” I could not have been more wrong. Any person who dares climb a mountain in the company of a violent drunk and a guide who suffered from both auditory and visual hallucinations, cannot claim even a modicum of intelligence. 

At first, I was thankful for the snowstorm for the heated argument between Dr. Shin and our guide on the numbing capabilities of various forms of alcohol was mostly lost in the howl of the wind... (cont.)

World's Smartest Man
Found Alive!

Miah: unable to taste lemon. 

The World's Smartest Man, assumed eaten by a beast whilst documenting a peaceful mountain hike, was found alive this Wednesday in a HAGERSTOWN, MD suburb.

Miah cannot recall anything about the incident on the mountain, but he has three large gashes behind his right ear and is no longer able to taste lemon.

He was found behind the counter of one of Funkstown's small antique shops. Miah's job at the shop consisted of appraising antiques that were brought in by curious customers.

Recognized by one of our very own readers by his oversized head, Miah was acting strange and confused, unable to remember his name. He was quickly admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital and diagnosed with an acute amnesia. He will be brought home soon to begin his slow recovery, for to Miah life has turned into a challenge. Your support and kind words would be of tremendous help to the egg-headed man. Drop him a line at miah@emptyv.org

News Bulletin- Burning Death
Comes For You

Death, "The Grim Reaper", shown here with 3rd place ribbon in front of potted plant.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. - Woody Allen

This just in: A recent University study shows that up to 96 percent of currently living Americans will suffer from what scientists are calling the death syndrome within the next 100 to 150 years. 

"It's everywhere and someone you may know might already be carrying it." says Dr. Richard Ridley of the Wisconsin school of medicine, adding "there are some who say it comes for us all, but I'm optimistic about our current research"

This condition apparently runs in families, with instances going back generations.  If you are unsure whether or not you are dead ask yourself whether you have difficulty performing such physically demanding tasks as breathing, blinking, or logging on to emptyv.org. If this is the case, you may want to consult a qualified physician for immediate care.

Name this Rabbit!

Emptyv.org has a new mascot/logo. He is a dumpy little rabbit who smokes and gets pissed off. But before he can delight children around the world, he needs a name. And, as Emptyv's first ever contest, we want you to name him. You will win a prize if your name is chosen! So send the rabbit name, your name, and an e-mail address to us here.

Stay tuned for the ongoing saga of "Where is the World's Smartest Man?"

Nothin' can kill me, bitch

miah is still missing

Bruised and bloodied and thirsting for booze, Dr. Shin has returned. I'll be damned if I know where Miah is. I lost his bulbous headed ass on the mountain in the middle of a snowstorm, carrying with me the last of the provisions. But you'll all be glad to know that we reached the summit and officially "kicked God's ass". Then, standing there with our dementia ridden guide, we had heard a horrendous howl of some unknown creature deep in the woods and began to haul ass down the mountain side. I quickly smeared a raw piece of meat on Miah and we were separated. I was picked up by a rescue helicopter two days later and was taken to the nearest bar for a steak and a whiskey sour or 7.

In any case, I'm bunking here at the temp. offices of emptyv, in a hammock over the rabbit cages. The only thing worse than the smell of rabbit shit is the fact that the wretched beasts seem to be raping each other nonstop. God bless America!
